Nikon D70 vs Nikon D7000 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through specs. The picture here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the D70 and D7000.

All in all, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon D7000 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged D70 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
